Kid Support™
Welcome to Gilda’s Club Kansas City’s Kid Support Program!
Kid Support™ works hand in hand with the other programs offered by Gilda’s Club Kansas City to help children acquire a greater sense of control over their lives – in short, to live well with cancer in the family. Accompanying these videos is a FREE box of materials with envelopes corresponding with each week’s topic. The videos provide an overview and the envelopes contain educational worksheets and activities to complete as a family. This program is available in both English and Spanish.
Kid Support is designed to:
Provide young people with age-appropriate information about cancer and its treatment
Address common cancer-related misconceptions
Promote children’s discussions about what they are feeling and experiencing
Teach children coping skills
Promote family communication about cancer
